large number of descendants are scattered
from Maine to California. Her life was con-
temporary with all the great events and dis

fitted the world. She was fifty years old be-

before the first steamship crossed the ocean.
She lived more than half a century before
cook stoves came into use, or sewing ma
chimes were invented. She lighted the fires
for domestic use many years with the flint

MASTER WORKMAN PowDERLY.
He Writes Letter on the EmIgra-
ton Question.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, July 22.-Master
Workman Powderly has written another let
ter on the emigration question. In COM
munication to Hon. John E. Barrett, editor
of the Scranton Truth, he says:
In regard to the statement published in the
Scranton Republican, viz. That my plan
contemplates an exclusion of all foreigners
except the few who come provided with ,suf-
ficient means to sustain themselves for a year
if necessary without employment, desire to
state that l never said that an emigrant
should come provided with sufficient means
to maintain himself for year if necessary.
1t is because so many of them are out of en-
ployment, and because many of them crowd
our citizens out Of employment that do not
want an emigrant to cyme till he can be sure
of employment without robbing another of
it. That is the case in a nutshell. | am
gathering statistics aud data on which to base
plan of dealing with this important ques-
tion, Until that is done, and L announce it
as my plan, neither Republican or any 9TH
er one is authorized to promulgate plan for
the regulation Iof the emigration question
and label it Powderly.

ALICE G. FREEMAN.
Wellesley College Loses a President
and Professor Gains a Wife.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The recent resignation Of Miss Alice f.
Freeman, president of Wellesley College,
has drawn the attention Of the country to
one Of Americas most famous women. The
occasion of her withdrawal from her high
position is her approaching marriage with a
Harvard professor, and Is in itself strong
argument against the objections often raised
to the higher education of woman, ,:namely,
that 1t disqualifes her for the home The
career Of Miss Freeman as a student, teacher,
professor and college president has been al
most marvellous, and especially when 1t is
remembered that she is only thirty three
years of age. Graduating from Michigan
University, she began teaching in high
school in that State. At the age of "a she
was made Professor of History at Wellesley.
and four years later, on the resignation Of
President Howard, was appointed to her
present position.
In person, Miss Freeman presents none Of
the characteristics Of the "blue-stocking, I"
for she is slight and girlish in figure, with
beautiful brown eyes and with soft hair fall
ing over her forehead in masses Of curls.
She Is very fond of the pretty things dear to
girls hearts, and in spite Of the fact that she
has received several degrees, she always
dresses becomingly, and in the prevailing
fashion. Her principal charm, and that to
which she owes her unqualified success, Is
her wonderful power over people, due to a
personal magnetism, and to her rare cOnyer-
sational ability.
In 1884 she represented American colleges
at the International Collegiate Convention,
at London, and was the only woman who
addressed the convention, and in fact the
only woman who had ever spoken on such
occasions.
President Freeman's executive ability Is
proven by her highly successful administra-
tion at Wellesley. The growth and prosper
ity Of that Institution during the last six
years has been entirely due to her In that
time the average number has increased from
three hundred TO six hundred. Three new
and elegant buildings have been erected by
her enterprise, and many scholarships Sc
cured by her efforts, and as she leaves Wei
lesley TO enter a sphere which she believes
to be the crowning glory Of true womanhood
1t can be truly said that she has made Wei.
lesley College the leading institution Of the
kind In this country.

THE YACHT VOLUNTEER.
The New Boat Highly Thought Of by
Experienced Sailors.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, July 22.-The rain
fell from early morning until noon, when it
began to clear At 2 o'clock the wind showed
signs of freshening. and Capt. Hoff of the
Volunteer gave orders to get ready to start
for Nahant, General Paine's home. At 215
O'Clock she swung around and stood out of
the harbor. She moved slowly, as the wind
was light and she had only her small jib set
Boats filed with.men and boys followed, and
on the various headlands were crowds of
men and women, who waved handkerchiefs
and cheered her as she passed, Capt Hoff
returning the salutes by waving his hat.
The schooner yacht Ambassadress gave her
parting salute, and at 2.90 o'clock the Vol
unteer rounded Point Neck light. A few
minutes later she set her immense mainsail
and stood towards Half Way Rock. There
was heavy sea and the wind was freshen-
ing. The Volunteer dived and pitched into
the sea, but very easily, making light work
of it. After keeping her off for some dis
tance, Capt. Hoff brought her up to the
wind. and her fore staysail was set. During
the next fifteen minutes Capt. Hoff kept
lufhng, evidently swinging up her big main
sail. All this time the wind had been stiff
enlng and 1t was now blowing a good 10
knot breeze Her sails set badly, and her
mainsail appeared to. be doing but little
good; At 800 o'clock Capt. Hoff brought
the vessel in stays. She worked quickly and
woll, and at once pointed her nose towards
Nahant. Here she began to show herself
and presented splendid picture. She was
en- the port tack and doing fine windward
work, ploughing through the water at great
speed. Her mainsail drew well and she
made good u miles an hour, which made it
evident to all who had followed her that she
stood under frequent flaws of wind better
than the Mayfiower ever did and went
through the water more easily. As sailor
expressed it, ''She sailed as boat ought to
sail, on her bottom, not on her broadside"
AT o'clock she stood into Nahant where
General Paine was landed at his summer
home. At 4.15 O'Clock she again got under
way, and started on the return trip to
MarDlehead, where she arrived at 5.45
o'clock. While ON the return, the bobstay
became unscred from the cap on the bow
spirit, which formed the ground for sensa-
ti0nal report that the vessel had Deen dis
abled. Capt. Haff says the Volunteer be
haved splendidly, and he is much pleased
with the trial today. Tomorrow afternoon
the vessel sails for Boston. Capt. Haff con-
siders the Volunteer the better boat in
head sea than either the Puritan or Maynow-
er, and shows more stability.
The sloop Priscilla will sail tomorrow for
New London. where she will be docked and
put in trim for the coming races

A "reminiscences OF John A. Andrew.

Mr.. f. Bond writes to the New Brunswick
Telegraph from Kohala, II. l., an interesting
account Of an intellectual achievement Of
John A. Andrew, when he was a student In
Bowd0in College. Mr.. Bond says: 'When

was in Brunswick we thought his reputation
as an orator had not been over estimated
He certainly was very eloquent In his advO-
cacy OF what then, as you are aware, was q
most unpopular course. Well, after one Of
his lectures, Andrew would stand In the
College grounds or In his room with the win
dow thrown open and give us the repetition
Of the lecture almost verbatim; and 10 one
listening with averted face, II was generally
agreed that the re-delivery Of the lecture was
scarcely a whit inferior 10 the original pre-
sentation in its rhetorical finish. We thought
him very graceful and most abrasive
speaker; but all the same, probably, we were
not very safe critics Of our classmates 0ratO-
rical capabilities. IL affords me unbounded
pleasure to see how perfectly Andrew main
tained his charming simplicity Of character.

spending large amount OF money 10 beat
the P0rtlands. The Portlands are playing
the same men they started with, with one
exception, and are playing better ball than
the LOwells are playing or ever did play.
The games to-day and Monday are likely to
be close ones but the Portlands ought TO win.
The fight from this out promises to be much
more exciting even than the one with Haver-
